Dorset School Replaces Banned Sugar And Birthday Cakes With St George’s Flag

by | 18th, February 2011

CAKES are verboten at St George’s Church of England Primary School, Bourton, Dorset. So too are sweeties. Cakes and sweeties have been banned.
Says head teacher Michael Salisbury:

“There’s just too much sugar coming into school.”

The BBC says that “children on the school council were involved in discussions and agreed, an idea supported by the parent body”.

Children agreed to ban cakes and sweets?

The kids have been turned. It’s not enough the nippers want to live in the Dark Ages; now they are champions of healthy eating – or good food, as they must call it.

Instead of cakes the school will – and do enjoy this – fly a St George’s flag outside the front door of the school. The flag will be flown whenever pupils, staff and governors celebrate birthdays. There are 92 pupils at the school. That is a lot of flag waving.

And whether they like it or not – whether they are Scots, Welsh, Irish or first generation immigrants – the flag of St George will be flow.

The kinder are koming, readers. You’d best run…
